GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A fit and slimmer Eddie Lacy is pounding away at the defense in Green Bay Packers training camp.
After eclipsing 1,100 yards each of his first two years in the league, Lacy ran for 758 yards on 187 carries in 15 games last season, starting 12. Lacy missed a curfew before a game against the Detroit Lions, relegating him briefly to McCarthy's doghouse. As Lacy struggled, backup James Starks assumed more carries and turned into a reliable option in the passing game.
He's not angry that McCarthy called him out. Lacy,Cheap MLB Jerseys China, in fact,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, said "it needed to be said. It was said and you can either take it the right way or the wrong way. I think I did a pretty good job of taking it positively and taking care of what I had to."
"Nah, not really, just eat less of it," he said.
The Packers would love to get Lacy back to 2013-14 levels of production.
"But we have to stay healthy," Lacy said. "If us three all get out there and we all get on the same page, it will be tough for defenses to stop all of us."
A bounce-back season for Lacy, coupled with the likely return of injured receiver Jordy Nelson from a torn right ACL, could lift the Packers right back into elite territory as an offense, especially with two-time MVP Rodgers under center.
At his best, Lacy bowls over defenders and spins out of tackles with reckless abandon. His physical running style suits the cold-weather Packers, who ideally would hand the ball to Lacy late in games to run down the clock. |
